To encourage you to keep going.To remind you to be strong.

I think a lot of people don’t understand what real romance is. Anyone can buy flowers and candy and jewelry, there’s no love in that. The truly romantic things in life are those little things you do every day to show you care, and that you’re thinking of them. It’s going out of your way to make them happy. The way you hold her hand when you know she’s scared, or you save the last piece of cake for him. The random text in the middle of the day, just to say “I love you” or “I miss you”. The way he stops to kiss you when he passes by. It’s dedicating her favorite song to her, and letting her eat your fries… and telling her she’s beautiful, even when she’s in her sweats.. with her hair in a ponytail and no makeup. It’s putting your favorite show on pause so she can tell you about her day, and laughing at his joke even the really lame ones. It’s slow dancing in the kitchen and kissing in the rain. Romance isn’t about buying, it’s about giving. True romance is in the gestures.

Yea a know that for true, but what am wondering about is the 3 comments that is written hear 🙁 is exactly same like my story i had one and something gets in the way! i don’t understand why it happens this way, when it feels this perfect but at the same time couldn’t end happily ever after. )we’ve known each other for 5 years best friends then the romance start after & it was for 1 year and break up the romance relation “tag” continues as a best friends again ,move on in our lives but yet still call, text,update our life status detail & often , care, laugh, silence…..we both r single still. still feels the same, care for each other have that same connection but their is something holding us to be together, i believe it is an excuse, 1 distance,(we live in different country) 2 our difference in other things (we r afraid that we can not live together with differences . but not really good enough reasons not to be together comparing to how we feel and care for each other) isn’t excuse? but why??? i still don’t get it. I don’t know what i will feel or do if one of us get in to serious another relation and something happen. huh

I never had this until 1.5 yrs ago when I met a wonderful man. He not only tells me he loves but proves it to me in every way. That to me is what romance is. Not only does he do for me but I like to do for him because I want too.

heck- I even watch “Dancing With the Stars” with my wife sometimes- which I hate. But I love watching her laugh or do ANYTHING she loves to do, so I enjoy the time we are together doing WHATEVER she chooses. We have been married 35 years. My dad often buys my mom (married 65 years) flowers. He calls it “wife insurance”. So far so good…:)
